      Would be more likely that it's a single object that partially broke up on re-entry, and the pieces rained down and two of those pieces happened to hit those places.
      Depending on the size and composition of the object, combined with what the distance was between the impact sites, it's not *as* outlandish as it sounds.

      It has been some time since I have taken a deep dive into this, but I believe it is believed that the location of one of those cities stands currently under the Dead Sea. A team did an investigation of the bottom of the sea and found a large pillar of salt there. It was the only one down there and naturally an anomaly to have something like that there. Like I said this has been quite a while ago so I probably have this wrong, but it could be a good research point for someone reading this. If I think I remember where I may have watched this I'll comment it here

There was an article for the airburst model - not the Sodom claim - which may be pending a retraction that did make it through Scientific Reports. "Peer review" usually means that a handful of related experts thought a paper was worth publishing and didn't suffer from any obvious major defects. It's not an endorsement. In this case, peer review does not appear to have included anyone from the very narrow and highly-specialized expertises involved, and it's up for retraction given, for example, the inclusion of altered photos.

    I had a National Geographic magazine from 1978 where there was an archeological dig at a place I believe was in Syria. Where they found a huge number of tablets dating to the bronze age, in these records were biblical names as well as mention of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, so the historical reality of these cities has been known for quite some time. If you are interested the place they were uncovering was called Ebla and it was a major city state and a trading empire of the time.

      This demonstrates that the authors knew the names of ancient cities, which is not surprising since it was written long ago. It does not lend credence to the stories. In the same way Spider-Man taking place in new York city, which is a real city, does not provide evidence that there is a Spider-Man.

      @@billjohnson9472 I think you're missing the point of these archeological finds. You're right that they do not, in themselves, prove that the biblical stories are true. But they provide support that indicates that they were written by someone within a region and time period, by someone who would have been in a position to know about certain events. There have been plenty of modern people who thought Sodom and Gomorrah were not real cities at all, just part of an entirely mythical story. These tablets prove that they did exist, and the writers of the bible lived in a time and place when the memory of them was still relatively recent, especially since, unlike other ancient cities, they did not continue to be inhabited throughout the following millennia. The archeological findings they discussed in this video don't prove that they were destroyed by an act of God, but they do show that the ancient account does line up with actual historical events in several key ways. Since ancient writers didn't have the same incredible access to information we do, made-up stories were much more likely to get details wrong, especially chronological anachronisms (like using names from their own time period rather than the period the story was supposed to take place in) and hyperbole, where the story grew bigger and more unbelievable over time. So these findings simply bolster the reliability of the ancient writers of the bible. It shows that they were accurate in key details, which makes it more likely that they are accurate in those details we haven't been able to corroborate yet.

      @@billjohnson9472 Perhaps I should be a little more specific as to the reason for those names being mentioned was in relation to commercial activity or matters of state; which clearly proves the cities are not legendary or mythological in any way, but as existing contemporaneously with the Eblaite kingdom. Unless of course they collectively had decided to construct imaginary cities which they would pretend were real and would fraudulently record all of their dealings with. That would be a theory truly worthy of a blinded by their own prejudices radical skeptic. But that is really beside my point, I wasn't referring to the Genesis record as to whether or not the events it refers to happened the way the scripture records them, simply to the historicity of the cities themselves.

      Personally I suspect the fall of Jericho had to do with Natural Frequency Resonance. We only recently have understood that all structures have a natural frequency and can cause collapse if overwhelmed. The account of the fall of Jericho is oddly specific in the order and timing of a number of frequency variables. Even down to the red cord as it's possible it disrupted the frequencies just enough to prevent catastrophic failure of that one section.

      That' simply not true, the Archaeologists who worked on this dig at Tall el-Hamman won't say this is 100% Sodom, it's from around that time, give or take one hundred years, it's kinda in the area, give or take 50 miles but that's about it. I get fed up with people like this guy, you'd think it was 100% true but when you actually study up on the Archaeologists who worked on the dig, it's really disappointing because it's not 100% factual. They can't prove anything other than it's an Early, Intermediate, Middle Bronze age & early Iron age dig. Israel/Jordan are full of them.

    God wouldn't need an actual nuke to do this. Just a big enough rock exploding at just the right altitude at just the right angle would have done it.

      If I was some effect of a giant meteor explosion that turned her into salt, the same would have been done to the rest of them given they would have been all in the same proximity.

If you look at the beginning of the Bible, and further into the OT, you'll find one reference after another to volcanoes. See: pillar of smoke in the Exodus story, for example. This could only have been the case if the early Hebrews had been in an area where there were volcanoes. Egypt has none. Neither does Jordan or Israel, at least not any that have played a significant role in the formation of anyone's culture. Up North, however: Moses' own wife was Midian: see Mitanni Empire. If you Google it you'll see this was located around Lake Van, and on the western side of the lake is volcano with the massive crater I mentioned above.

    There's a video of a guy who took samples out of the dirt and ignited it with a flame and it burned like a match. He claimed it was sulfur as it burned like sulfur and smelled like it when it burned. He said there is small deposits of sulfur imbedded all over in that area.

      I know the evidence as presented here is convincing, but the sulfur aspect tells us that someone has erred. These people, that city, was much farther North, in southeastern Turkey, where there's a moody volcano whose crater we can see from space.

    I read an article years ago about Zoroastrian priests in what is now Persia/Iran who would observe meteorological events and star-chart as part of their socio-religio practices. Apparently, some scrolls were found from said priests from that particular time period of a substantial meteorological event, like a meteor shower observed close to the Dead Sea region that would have correlated with the S and G time frame and events. This would seem to make sense with a quasi-nuclear type event that would produce such a massive destructive force

    I read that paper. This hypothesis also explains Lot’s wife. When a bolide explodes, it releases a thermal shockwave in all directions capable of instantly desiccating any living being within its blast radius. But after a certain distance, the effect happens only if it hits it directly, unobstructed. It’s reasonable to suppose that Lot and his daughters had a hill or cliff wall between them and the blast, but that Lot’s wife, having turned around for a last, longing look, was line-of-sight at the moment the shockwave hit.
